Esther 4
1 Now when Mordecai found out all that was done, Mordecai tore his clothes, and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and wailed loudly and a bitterly.
Nony fantatr’ i Mordekay izay rehetra efa natao, dia nandriatra ny fitafiany izy ka nitafy lamba fisaonana sady nihosin-davenona, dia nankeo afovoan’ ny tanàna ka nitaraina sy nidradradradra mafy;
2 He came even before the King's Gate, for no one is allowed inside the King's Gate clothed with sackcloth.
ary tonga teo anoloan’ ny vavahadin’ ny mpanjaka aza izy; nefa tsy nisy nahazo niditra teo amin’ ny vavahadin’ ny mpanjaka, raha nitafy lamba fisaonana.
3 In every province, wherever the king's commandment and his decree came, there was great mourning among the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes.
Ary tany amin’ ny isan-tokony tamin’ ny fanjakana rehetra nalehan’ ny tenin’ ny mpanjaka sy ny didiny dia nalahelo mafy ny Jiosy ka nifady hanina sy nitomany ary nidradradradra, sady maro no nandry tamin’ ny lamba fisaonana aman-davenona.
4 Esther's maidens and her eunuchs came and told her this, and the queen was exceedingly grieved. She sent clothing to Mordecai, to replace his sackcloth; but he did not receive it.
Ary niditra ny ankizivavin’ i Estera sy ny tsindranolahiny ka nilaza izany taminy. Dia nalahelo indrindra ny vadin’ ny mpanjaka, ka nampanatitra lamba hitafin’ i Mordekay izy mba hanesorany ny lamba fisaonana taminy; nefa tsy nety nandray izy.
5 Then Esther called for Hathach, one of the king's eunuchs, whom he had appointed to attend her, and commanded him to go to Mordecai, to find out what this was, and why it was.
Ary Estera niantso an’ i Hatàka, tsindranolahin’ i ny mpanjaka, izay notendreny hanompo azy, ka nampitondra teny azy ho any amin’ i Mordekay, mba hahafantarany izay anton’ izany.
6 So Hathach went out to Mordecai, to city square which was before the King's Gate.
Dia nivoaka Hatàka nankany amin’ i Mordekay ho eo an-kalalahana eo an-tanàna, dia ilay eo anoloan’ ny vavahadin’ ny mpanjaka;
7 Mordecai told him of all that had happened to him, and the exact sum of the money that Haman had promised to pay to the king's treasuries for the destruction of the Jews.
dia nambaran’ i Mordekay taminy izay rehetra efa nanjo azy sy ny isan’ ny vola izay nokasain’ i Hamana haloa ho ao an-trano firaketan’ ny mpanjaka noho ny handringanana ny Jiosy.
8 He also gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that was given out in Shushan to destroy them, to show it to Esther, and to declare it to her, and to urge her to go in to the king, to make petition to him, and to make request before him, for her people.
Ary nomeny azy koa ny kopen’ ny lalàna, izay nantsoina tany Sosana handringanana azy, mba haseho amin’ i Estera hampahafantatra azy izany sy handidy azy hiditra ao amin’ ny mpanjaka mba hifona aminy sy hangataka eo anatrehany ho an’ ny fireneny.
9 Hathach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai.
Ary tonga Hatàka ka nanambara ny tenin’ i Mordekay tamin’ i Estera.
10 Then Esther spoke to Hathach, and gave him a message to Mordecai:
Fa Estera naniraka an’ i Hatàka indray hanao amin’ i Mordekay hoe:
11 "All the king's servants, and the people of the king's provinces, know, that whoever, whether man or woman, comes to the king into the inner court without being called, there is one law for him, that he be put to death, except those to whom the king might hold out the golden scepter, that he may live. I have not been called to come in to the king these thirty days."
Ny mpanompon’ ny mpanjaka rehetra sy ny olona isan-tokony eran’ ny fanjakany dia samy mahalala fa na iza na iza mankeo amin’ ny mpanjaka ho eo an-kianja anatiny, na lehilahy na vehivavy, nefa tsy nantsoina, dia misy lalàna iray ihany hahafaty azy, afa-tsy izay hotondroin’ ny mpanjaka amin’ ny tehim-bolamena hahavelona azy; ary izaho anefa dia tsy mbola nantsoina hiditra ao amin’ ny mpanjaka intsony telo-polo andro izay.
12 They told to Mordecai Esther's words.
Dia nolazaina tamin’ i Mordekay ny tenin’ i Estera.
13 Then Mordecai asked them return answer to Esther, "Do not think to yourself that you will escape in the king's house any more than all the Jews.
Ary Mordekay nampitondra valiny ho amin’ i Estera hoe: Aza manao anakampo fa ho afaka mihoatra noho ny Jiosy rehetra ianao, saingy ao an-tranon’ ny mpanjaka;
14 For if you remain silent now, then relief and deliverance will come to the Jews from another place, but you and your father's house will perish. Who knows if you haven't come to the kingdom for such a time as this?"
fa raha hangina mihitsy ianao amin’ izao andro izao, dia hisy fahafahana sy famonjena hiseho avy amin’ ny fitoerana hafa ho an’ ny Jiosy, fa ianao sy ny mpianakavin-drainao kosa dia haringana; ary iza no mahalala, fa angamba ho amin’ izao andro izao mihitsy no nanandratana anao ho amin’ ny fanjakana?
15 Then Esther asked them to answer Mordecai,
Dia nampitondra valiny ho any amin’ i Mordekay indray Estera ka nanao hoe:
16 "Go, gather together all the Jews who are present in Shushan, and fast for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day. I and my maidens will also fast the same way. Then I will go in to the king, which is against the law; and if I perish, I perish."
Mandehana ary, vorio ny Jiosy rehetra izay mba ato Sosana ary mifadia hanina noho ny amiko, ka aza mihinana na misotro hateloana na andro na alina; ary izaho sy ny ankizivaviko hifady toy izany koa, ary amin’ izany no hidirako ao amin’ ny mpanjaka, na dia tsy araka ny lalàna aza; koa raha tàhiny maty aho, dia maty.
17 So Mordecai went his way, and did according to all that Esther had commanded him.
Dia lasa Mordekay ka nanao araka izay rehetra nandidian’ i Estera azy.
